Also known as the 7 sheep card.
At a glance, if each sheep has 100 food, you end up with roughly 700 food. Since livestock is gathered almost as fast as crates, this is almost like having the 700 food shipment in colonial.
I'd like to experiment with this a little more, but the way I see this being used it to have tons of villagers, but still age up 5-6 minutes. Once you get your first shipment @ 3 min, simply send the card, harvest 700 food, ageup.
Does this concept sound workable?

I have a a strat involving this card as Russians for use agaisnt defensive FFs. I only have one recorded game, though, against a fellow Russian's sevastopol FF, so I havent posted it.
That card isn't worth 700 food; it's worth 2100 (when fattened). If you feel that you can make the investment early in the game without being killed, go for it; I'd rather have that 2100 food in early fortress than the amount of wood distributivism gives you by that point.
Oh and I'm pretty sure they come with only 50 food on them...so thats only 350 food.

This thread was just meant to see aspects of using the 7 sheep. I thought that they arrived with 100 food each, but it's actually 50 food each.
Thanks for your continuous input, but this thread was pretty much done after post 3.
